Questions
Why are some marks still there?
Marks that were flattened, or drawn by the app that made the PDF, are part of the page itself, not separate markups.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The tool runs in your browser, so your files never leave your device. Nothing is sent to us or kept after you close the tab.
Can I do several files at once?
Yes. Choose or drop several files. Each one gets the same settings, and you save them all in one ZIP.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark on your file and no daily limit.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Once the page has loaded you can turn off Wi-Fi and the tool still works.
